NBA Finals: Spurs & Heat Game 5

I'm hoping gamesmanship! :-)
Would like to see Spurs win and it'd be near impossible if he succumbs to injury.

I thought Parker was expecting his leg to fall off prior to this game? Gamesmanship or did the Heat just not work him hard enough?

Mick, Campbell was doing a marathon in Ipswich Qld yesterday so he isn't here, ron paul is with Bruno(probably) and rose, well speaking of him, his friend who is a very close friend of mine is coming down tomorrow to spend the rest of the week with me, so if you have any questions for him, let me know and ill pass them on.

On the game, watching it I am worried going to Miami. they have so much firepower and James didn't fire tonight. lets hope the spurs can get the job done

Can't disagree with you MACDUB,

Pop killing Spo. Having said that, Pop would beat pretty much anyone.

I sort of agree about Cole. Although in the final few minutes of the 3rd today, after the Heat pulled it back to 75-74, Spo inserted Cole, and it went to s**t. What followed was a 19-1 run by the Spurs. Game pretty much over.

Popp outcoaching Spoelstra IMO.

Thought Pops rotations were absolutely spot on today.

-Reduced minutes for Splitter
-A lot of gametime for Diaw (who did a great defensive job: playing Diaw = allows Leonard to focus on offense - who had 16 and 8 today).
-Obviously inserting Manu into the starting lineup was a great coaching decision.

On the flipside, I though Spoelstra made some rotation errors:

-Miller: 24 minutes: Van Gundy said during the game that the Spurs were exploiting him on defence by getting whoever he was guarding to set and on ball screen and play off the switch
-Cole 6 minutes? Thought he needed more. Chalmers hasn't been good this series, and today he was pretty bad.
-Spoel's plan to play no PG for extended minutes. Problem with this = mismatch at PG. Parker was 10-14 and 6-8 FT. Crazy efficient. Got wherever he wanted.

I remember a quote from Doc Rivers a few years back when Boston met LeBron and Cleveland in the playoffs, it was the year the Celtics won it.

"You don't want to get to Game 7 when the best player in the world is on the other team".

Spurs need to win Game 6, you do not want to face LeBron James in Game 7 at home.

on a serious note. Spurs came out hard, great shooting from Green, although Miami came back. Spurs need to cut the turnovers if they are any chance. leave splitter on the bench Pop.

spurs have come out strong and James misses a lob dunk. Danny Green gets a verbal from Pop. this is intense

I'm surprised David West received some many votes. He's really starting to blossom into a perennial All-Star. This is from a guy that was average 3ppg and 4rpg in his rookie season.
